5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 1. Quantification

10926	Quantifying into referentially opaque contexts often produces nonsense [Quine]
	Full Idea: If to a referentially opaque context of a variable we apply a quantifier, with the intention that it govern that variable from outside the referentially opaque context, then what we commonly end up with is unintended sense or nonsense.
	From: Willard Quine (Reference and Modality [1953], §2)
